Models Now Open at Astoria Homes’ Newest Community,
Independence

(Las Vegas) – Sia Howe, director of marketing for Astoria Homes, announced Independence’s models are now open. The homebuilder unveiled five model homes at Independence, its second community in its Triumph Neighborhood series, on Nov. 8 at its premier location on Warm Springs Road, west of Durango.

The five 2-story models at Independence range from 1,246 to 1,421 square feet. The 1,246 square-feet Residence 511 features two master suites, a loft and courtyard. At 1,311 square-feet, Residence 522 offers three bedrooms, two and a half baths, a courtyard and deck off the master suite. The three-bedroom, two and a half bath Residence 531 is 1,384 square feet and includes a courtyard. Residence 600, at 1,384 square-feet, includes three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a two-car garage. The largest model, Residence 610 at 1,421 features three bedrooms, two and a half baths and a two-car garage.

Independence features professionally selected exterior color schemes with iron detailing, exterior shutters, decks and front courtyards. The “100 Percent Home Package” comes standard with every home and includes refrigerator, washer & dryer, mini-blinds throughout, fully landscaped yards and a 2-10-year Home Buyer’s Warranty.

“The layouts of all the Independence residences are extraordinary, a must see,” Howe said. “Amazing homes, paired with an almost endless list of quality features and prices starting from the $120,000s makes Independence ideal for first-time homebuyers, including young families and single parents.”

In addition, all homes feature “Energy Star,” an EPA-approved system of ensuring that homes are at least 30 percent more efficient than the Model Energy Code. By using the “Energy Star” program, homeowners save valuable energy and also lower the costs of heating and cooling.

The community features two picturesque parks with playgrounds, covered picnic tables, pools with cabanas, and open grassy areas.

To visit the Independence models and sales office, take the 215 to Durango and go south, then west on Warm Springs Road. The office is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday through Thursday and noon to 5 p.m. Fridays. The sales office can be reached at 702.736.2125. More information on the community can be obtained from the homebuilder’s website at www.AstoriaHomes.com.

As part of the “Triumph Neighborhoods” concept, Independence features quality homes with all the amenities of other homes at a significantly lower price point. Silverado Place, which opened earlier this year in the Silverado Ranch area, was the first Triumph neighborhood.

Astoria Homes’ communities include: Ironwood Estates in Centennial Hills; Auburn Hills, Canyon Trails and Independence in the Southwest; Silverado Place in Silverado Ranch; and Villa Villagio in Seven Hills.
